I just want to take a moment to thank all of you for the involvement that I
have seen in the last few days. I was giving thought just a couple of
weeks ago to giving up this list line. I felt like it wasn't helping many
of us and may be a waste of time and money. I now know that not to be the
case. I am going ahead with setting up a clearing house on and off line.
It is still in the planning stage so please be patient and I will announce
all the information on this line.
In the meantime if any of you have addresses for off-line researchers that
will want to receive any announcements you may send those addresses to me :
jeniann(a)wa.net and I will see that they are sent the information that we
gather on-line and will post information on-line for them at their request.
Is there anyone on the list that would volunteer to write or help write the
newsletter which I think at first should go out every three months?????? I
can print it up but there are many of you who are better at putting the
words down than I am. Are there any on the list that would be willing to
start looking for census, deeds, wills, any records for any Cartmill (
note, I use this spelling automatically because that is the way I learned
it)???
Some of us have resources close at hand and others don't so even posting
indexes of counties will help those that have limited time, allowing them
to go right to a certain record. Now if any of you have other suggestions
please feel free to contact me I am open to anything you think would help
make this all work.....
Again, I want to thank each and everyone of you for making the last few
days such fun and so rewarding.....
